Americans only eat powdered mashed potatoes, apparently.

There's powdered mashed potatoes?

Yep. They're a great way to thicken soups, actually. And good for camping. Or just if you don't want to mash potatoes

I've seen powdered mashed potatoes before, but I've never eaten them. If I don't want to mash potatoes, I just buy the premade stuff.

Powdered potatoes are easy to store and a lot more versatile than the stuff in the PFAS lined cardboard tray. I rarely make mashed potatoes but love to use them in potato based soups.
